Barbie Goes Bollywood At The Madrid Fashion Doll Show

Barbie Goes Bollywood

For the fourth Madrid Fashion Doll Show (MFDS) Barbie Convention, which took place last month, the theme was “BOLLYWOOD” glamour. Several doll designers and Barbie fans created one-of-a-kind Barbies for Bollywood Nights in Madrid, the auction accompanying the convention.

The organizers of the “Madrid Fashion Doll Show Convention” are members of official Barbie fans club in Spain: “Coleccinistas de Fashion dolls en Madrid“.

Each of the 23 Barbies was created as a one-of-a-kind donation for the charity auction, Bollywood Nights In Madrid, accompanying the 2016 Madrid Fashion Doll Show.

Of the 23 dolls up for auction on Spain’s ebay,  one of the most beautiful is that designed by the convention’s special guest and Senior Designer for Mattel’s Barbie Collection, Carlyle Neura.
